Apparently, Filipino language is not the only one decaying.

fu-k, MY POINT IS PROVEN ONCE AGAIN.

BUT

ROFLMAO JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!! "IM ONLY 17 YEARS OLDS"

Lol, cute.

Bloody Hell, Holy Crap, I WOULD SLAP HER UNTIL HER FACE TURNS NUMB.. THAT WAS VERY VERY VERY EMBARASSING...

yes and i was watching this last night with disgust! this is hella embarassing, and even worse.... she won miss world philippines 2008! wth are the judges thinkin of?

omg.. nakakahiya.. gusto ko siyang sipain sa mukha.

I like that show. Its a pretty interesting show.
Just seeing the social dynamics play out.

It true in way that this reflects reality. You have book smart brainers with no social skills. You have social intelligent ones with no book smarts.

tapos ang angas pa, sinabi pa na "NO! im not nervous at all" pa sosyal accent pa eh ang tanga naman pala. pero ah, broadcom field nya ah. how ironic.

oh well, im left with no choice but support her, for the sake of my country, no matter the trial, i still stand beside pilipinas... besides the judges mustve caught something from this girl, that got their vote. im just hoping for a reason, lets pray.

^no!!! don't support her!! papahiyain lang niya tayo sa buong mundo!!!!

sana mag back out siya para palitan siya nung 1st runner up...
ang daming taong naasar sa kanya at kasalanan yun ng judges dahil hinayaan nila na manalo siya. grrrrrrr!

sang ayon ako na bumaba xa, pero sa ngaun, wla taung mggawa kundi sumuporta, dhil bansa ang nakasalalay sa kanya. cguro baka namn natauhan na yun, at nagppurcge na mag-aral.

sa tingin ko di namn tanga ang mga judges eh. posibilidad na sinuhol ni san miguel ang mga judges kya nanalo xa. o baka pinanalo xa dahil sa awa. kung ganun ba man, kalokohan tong bb pilipinas pageant.

^tama ka! kalokohan ang ginagawa ng bb.pilipinas... at loka loka yung janina. lol

rofl....

hahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

*rests


hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhaha

Question:
What role did your family play for you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?

Answer:
Well, my family’s role for me is so importantt beccause there was the… they’re… they was the one whose very haha oh, I’m so sorry. Umm...My pamily… my family.. oh my god… I’m… [Paolo: puwedeng mag-Tagalog]. Ok. I’m so sorry. I.. I told you that I’m so confident. Eto… uhm, wait… hahahahaha! Uhmmm… sorry guys because this was rilly my pers pageant ever. Because I’m only 17 years old and… haha.. I.. I did not expect that I came from… I came from one of the tough ten. Mm! so… but I said that my family es the most important persons in my life. Thank you.

omg... nakakahiya! but in all fairness, maganda sya. ito rin yung nangyari kay mary ann umali when she competed 2 years ago. saksakan ng ganda but when she opened her mouth its like u wanna hit the mute button on ur remote control. these girls should just speak in tagalog kung hindi nila ma-convey sa panel ang answers nila.

i kinda feel bad for her. on the plus side.. MAN SHE IS TALL! omg. what is she? 5'11?

id tap her mamon eventhough she sucked with that question

she needs to take a lesson from Ruffa or Precious Lara...real beauty and brains

dude that mamon's soooo flat! no fum fum on the bum bum b. #8 the castano girl who won most of the special awards, has nice fum fums on the bum. she shouldve won the ms world crown.

Paolo Bediones: Janina, how are you?
Janina San Miguel: I'm fine.
Paolo Bediones: Alright, so you won two of the major awards - Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit. Do you feel any pressure right now?
Janina San Miguel: No, I don't feel any pressure right now.
Paolo Bediones: Confident! Alright! Please choose a name of the judge.
Paolo Bediones: We have, Miss Vivienne Tan.
Vivienne Tan: Good Evening.
Janina San Miguel: Good Evening.
Vivienne Tan: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?
Janina San Miguel: Well, my family's role for me is so important because there was the wa- they're, they was the one who's... very... ahaha! Oh I'm so sorry. Uhhmm... My pamily... My family... Hoh my God... I'm... Ok, I'm so sorry... I... I told you that I'm so confident... Eto.. uhhmm.. wait... ahahahaha!

veteran's reactions to this controversy.

i'm filipino and nope, i don't feel shame or embarrased at all with this.


next time put a "d" on that word.

pero naman no, pinagmamalaki natin na 98% ng populasyon ng pilipinas ay nag iingles pero ang ipang lalaban natin sa kanila, hindi parte nung 98% na yun... hindi ba yun nakakahiya???

andaming magagandang kandidata na marunong sumagot ng tama sa mga tanong, pero yun pa yung napili nila...

akala siguro nung mga judges, cute yung ginawa nung janina na yun... pero para sa akin, katangahan ang pinakita niya.. siguro di nag ensayo ng maiigi yung babaeng yon... gusto ko tuloy kulutin yung kilay niya. hehe

where did you pull that figure out??? if you'll rotate the first digit 90 deg., that might be realistic...

nonetheless, she still has several months to work on her engliiiiish.

^ruffa gutierrez said it in an interview regarding her reaction on janina's blunders.. lol

i thought people in the phils know how to speak fluent english there

^most of the filipinos know how to speak fluent english.... but not all..LOL

That is the tradition of Binoobooning Pilipinas! 45 years of ugliness, disgrace and posture?

Then they will train these poor girls in Colombia and will require them to wear ugly second hand gowns and costume from Señorita Colombia pageant !

You people make me sick!!!

they have beauty, body, but don't have the brain. I was making fun of Laurie Upton's answer to the geography-related question during the Miss Teen USA pageant, but now this Miss San Miguel. She said she's very confident, but she blundered when answering the question in English. Wow. Next time, I think it is better for Miss San Miguel to drink a bottle of San Miguel before she answers the question so that she won't messed up again. hehehe

And she won the Bb. Pilipinas World crown?

not all filipinos are that stupid when it comes to speaking english... don't under estimate us.

Philippine agency offers free English lessons for beauty pageants

A Philippine government training agency on Friday offered free English proficiency lessons to the country's contestants to international beauty pageants following the poor showing of some candidates in a local competition.

Augusto Syjuco, chief of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, lamented that English proficiency was declining among Filipinos and many students were neglecting the subject despite its importance.

He said beauty pageant contestants can avail of a 120-hour crash course on English to help them prepare before they represent the Philippines in international pageants.

'At the same time, we can also train them to answer the usual questions that are asked in pageants,' he said. 'They will be prepared not only on what to answer but also on what questions can be given to them.'

Syjuco made the offer after the controversial win of a 17-year-old contestant in the Philippines' top beauty pageant, despite struggling during the question-and-answer portion in the final round of the competition.

Janina San Miguel, who will represent the Philippines in the Miss World competition, fumbled when asked what role her family played in her bid to be a beauty queen.

She started to reply, saying, 'My family's role for me is so important because they was the, they're, they was the one whose very.' But she failed to finish and laughed it off.

She apologized, saying she never expected to make it to the 'tough 10,' and continued to reply, 'My family was the most important persons in my life.'
Despite her bumbling performance, San Miguel won one of the titles. She, however, has become the butt of jokes in the Philippines and outside the country after footage of the competition made it to the popular video sharing site YouTube.

Where have all the beauties gone?
By Giovanni Paolo J. Yazon

IF YOU have seen the just-concluded Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant, you might have asked yourself these questions after going out of the Big Dome or after turning off your TV set right after the excruciating show held last Saturday:

“Are we really running out of women deserving to represent the country in the most prestigious pageants abroad?,” “Was it an actual search or just a mock pageant?,” or “Can’t Binibining Pilipinas find girls whose caliber match if not the likes of Gloria Diaz, Margie Moran, Aurora Pijuan, Melanie Marquez and Precious Lara Quigaman, even just that of Chiqui Brosas, Chat Silayan, Desiree Verdadero, Pebbles de Asis, Miriam Quiambao and Charlene Gonzalez (who co-hosted the contest along with Paolo Bediones)?”

One word to fittingly describe the results of the “mother of all pageants” which was held last Saturday: exasperating! Binibining Pilipinas seemed like a sapphire that lost its luster in the darkness after turning 45 years old this year.

Many girls worthy of the crown such as Kathleen Phyllis Pagayanan Guerrero—who resembles Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Jerris Rivera of Puerto Rico—and Danielle Kirsten Muriel Castaño—who got the lion’s share of special awards—by some twist of fate, were edged out by a Mutya ng Pilipinas 2006 first runner-up named Patricia Isabel Medina Fernandez, 22, speech communication graduate at the University of the Philippines Diliman; a dark horse who didn’t get any special award named Jennifer Tarol Barrientos, 22, tourism graduate at the University of Santo Tomas; and a neophyte who seemed to have been always absent or cutting classes in her grammar usage class at the University of the East named Janina Miller San Miguel, a mass communication major (Would you believe?) who is of American and Indian descent (that even makes it amusingly horrible). These three, will be our worst, err, best bets to the Miss International, Miss Universe and Miss World pageants, in that order.

And who would forget San Miguel’s “winning answer” to the question of pageant judge Vivien Tan, “What role did your family play for you as a candidate in the Binibining Pilipinas?” which she replied with: “Well… my family’s role for me is important… because… there was the… they’re… they was the one whose (laughter in the audience)… very hahaha! Oh I’m so sorry, um, um my family, my family. Oh my God… I’m… Okay, I’m so sorry, I… I told you that I’m so confident. Eto, um, wait (she giggles). Sorry guys this was (sic) my first pageant ever, I’m only 17. I… I did not expect that I came from… I came from one of the tough (she means top, silly!) ten. Um, so, but I said that my family is the most important persons (sic) in my life, thank you.”

Her hilarious answer, by the way, is now a huge hit over YouTube. It has already received around 1,018 comments, and still counting! No doubt, she’s going to become one of the most popular delegates in Miss World in Ukraine this November. A beauty queen who requested anonymity remarked that she’s a living proof that the educational system in the Philippines is deteriorating, and that majority of the youth nowadays rarely read books. What a hurtful truth.

Another batch of wasted beauties

People behind Binibining Pilipinas previously told members of media that this year’s batch is the best in previous years. In fact, they’ve already sifted undeserving girls during the series of preliminary screenings. No more grueling final screening that usually starts in the afternoon until dawn happened this year. So those who made it—and those who didn’t—were just called via their cell phones, and were told to come back for orientation, fittings, photo shoots, etc. Imperative to say, they were considered the cream of the crop.

So how come that this year’s competition ended up with the wrong set of titleholders?

Why Castaño only finished as so-bad first runner-up when she’s got lots of class, speaks from the heart and has what it takes to become our third Miss Universe, more so our first Miss World? Was Guerrero—a law student from Ateneo—eliminated from the top five because she didn’t impress the judges during the interview segment, unlike San Miguel, who “entertained” the judges, audience and TV viewers with her boo-boos? Guerrero could have been another good option for Miss Universe.

Same thing happened to thank-you girls Eizza Rancesca Santos Lim, petite but witty; Karla Paula Ginteroy Henry, who could have been perfect for Miss International with her Nicole Kidman-like stance; Maria Kristelle Micaller Lazaro who questionably failed to make the cut; and Lady Lou Sarte Garidan, the lone black beauty—they all entered the backstage after the long gown parade.

What went wrong?

BPCI already released a statement to the members of media about the “unpopular outcome” of the pageant, and it said: “Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. would like to congratulate the newly crowned Binibining Pilipinas International 2008, Patricia Fernandez; Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2008, Jennifer Barrientos; and Binibining Pilipinas World 2008, Janina San Miguel. These three new queens that will represent the country in the respective global competitions are all worthy titleholders.

“The unanimous and final decision of the 11 distinguished International Board of judges chose them as the winners, during the Grand Coronation Night held at the Araneta Coliseum last March 8. San Miguel won Best in Swimsuit and Best in Long Gown categories.”

The judges may have rightfully chosen the three new queens, but the organizers simply picked the wrong judges for this year: Just imagine, Chris Tiu, a collegiate basketball player; actor Dennis Trillo, who was just a stone’s throw away from ex-girlfriend and Miss World 2005 semifinalist Carlene Aguilar; the beauteous actress Marian Rivera, who is not so articulate in English in her teleserye Marimar; Oscar Salvacion, president of Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, well, one of the sponsors; Vivien Tan, founder of Entrepreneurs School of Asia; Jean Moueix, a Bordeaux wine merchant; Dr. Vijay Mallya, chairman of United Breweries Group/Kingfisher Airlines; a politician, Mayor Sonny Belmonte Jr. of Quezon City; and three diplomats—United States Ambassador Kristie Kenney, Japanese Ambassador Makoto Katsura, and Philippine Ambassador to Spain Joseph Bernardo.

Not even one past Binibining Pilipinas titleholder sat among the judging panel. This year’s tilt could have been more interesting if some of the previous queens who attended that night became part of an “all-Binibini winners” panel. They deserve more than just becoming a presenter of special award year after year. These queens surely know what’s good for an international competition, because they’ve been there. They, too, could have tapped cosmetic surgeons, beauty gurus, runway models, and even the lowly beauty contest pundits-cum-journalists.

Challenge for crowned charmers

Though many are still in awe with regard to the upshot of this year’s Binibining Pilipinas, it’s already over—the “damage has been done.” But a lot of things can still be worked out to “totally overhaul” things up. Many think that Patricia Isabel, Jennifer and most especially Janina, don’t have slim chances but NIL chances in their respective pageant assignments. But as the saying goes, “In dreams begin responsibilities.” They better start preparing and improving themselves now. May they be able to prove to each and everyone that they are worthy of their crowns. Otherwise, their names will be added among the never-ending list of “thank-you girls.”

Oh well, good luck, girls!

WTF





some of the comments on youtube on her are very harsh ...

There was a public out roar ! For a country obsessed with a beauty pageant brains is more important than beauty !

There was a lot of "Booings" after the winners were announced! That is "why" the pageant is now called " Binoobooning Pilipinas " 45 years of ugliness and controversies

This is what's so wrong with us Filipinos.

Ang hilig natin tumuligsa at manlait ng kapwa Pinoy, pero hinde natin nakikita ang ating sarili.

Kayo ba magaling mag salita ng english?

If we base it here on this forum, a lot of us doesn't know how to properly construct a sentence (me included ha!) with so many grammar lapses.

Kailan pa kaya mababago ang ugali ng Pinoy?

hindi lang naman pinoy ang ganyan no... it's just human nature to criticize if you see others commit mistakes..

know what, im over the fact that she gave a dumbass answer, besides, shes pretty hot. im just looking forward for a better and much improved performance in the upcoming ms world pageant. shes still filipino, and despite her embarrassing performance, i know that the judges picked her for some odd reason, which im hoping would pay off come pageant time. i know i was also disappointed with the decision, and i know i was also guilty of bitter reaction but please, lets cease this bigotry. instead on focusing on the negative, lets reinforce the positive. mabuhay ka janina!

It's just a freaking pagent right.
